Understanding human behaviour
Psychology at Odder Højskole is mainly taught in Danish. However, we do offer a few subjects for you as an English speaking student.
Psychology is all about understanding human behavior in all its many forms. The aim is to help you understand yourself and others by exploring the human psyche and what it really means to be human.
We examine both the brain through neuroscience and the soul through humanistic psychology, with its focus on self-development and personal growth. But above all, our approach is hands-on. Together with your new classmates, you’ll explore various forms of therapy and engage in discussions about identity, love, communication, and conflict resolution.
We also look at what happens when “the system breaks down” and the concept of normality is challenged. You’ll gain insight into a wide range of mental health issues — from eating disorders and self-harm to ADHD, depression, psychopathy, and personality disorders.Many students go on to study psychology at university, but whether you’re planning a professional career or simply curious about the human mind, Odder Højskole will give you insights and tools you can use throughout your life.
